In terms of evaluating Engram, we have nothing else we can look at aside from the development of our WRs under his tenure. The track record is not good.

I get that but look what Engram had to work with. Breshad Perriman never had a full training camp until it was basically too late even though in preseason it looked like he improved with catching the ball. Chris Moore defintely was inconsistent but wasnt coming out of college as a polished receiver. I honestly thought Moore looked good last year when ever he was involved in the game plan and it seem like he even improved when it came to catching the ball as well. Micheal Campanaro could never stay healthy. Darren Waller was moved to tight end. We seen postive results from Tim White but he just couldnt get the special team thing down.

I overall get that the development of the wide receiver hasnt been good but maybe The Ravens should have done a better job at getting Engram receivers in the draft. Like consistently asking him to develop receivers that were bound to take time to develop especially when most of these college receivers arent coming from a pro style offense is tough task. It wasnt until last year when The Ravens started to implement spread concepts and more that you see from offenses from college.

No, not necessarily. As an NFL player you are paid to PLAY AND DO YOUR JOB. Play or get out and stop grandstanding. I am glad he and his significant other are out of the league. I come from a Marine background of no complaining and whining. Goodbye whiner!
Do they pay you to lose respect for yourself? Or throw your integrity out the window? All he did was a peaceful protest. I dnt think he whined at all

I didnt wanna even get back on this subject but i had too lol.. you lying to yourself lol. No way you think rg is better than kap.
Quit riding kaps dick and just admit he was shit after his Super Bowl year. He was horrible. Literally go back and watch his last 2 seasons. Absolute shit. You point to his stats but those were all 95% garbage time. RG3 is better, no question.

I’m sick of you acting like kap was good after his first few years. In 2015, kap had one of the worst years of any QB ever. In his last 2 years, he ranked dead last in most throws off target (22.6). Almost 1/4 of all his throws were off target. And they weren’t tough throws either. He ranked 32nd in completion percentage.

In 2015, his receivers, 2 of which being Boldin and Torrey Smith, came out and literally complained about him. He was so bad the 49ers had to go to a SINGLE READ OFFENSE.

He didn’t even win the starting job his last season in 2016, Blaine freaking Gabbert beat him. Lucky for him, Gabbert was so bad Kaepernick got the starting job back. But what do you know, he was benched in game in the 3rd quarter for Gabbert when kap became the first QB in history to be sacked 5 times and throw for less than 5 yards. 5 yards. Gabbert came in, and his first pass was an 18 yard completion.

He even looked absolutely horrible in the 2016 PRESEASON. HE LOOKED LIKE SHIT AGAINST BACKUPS. People literally didn’t think he’d make the roster.

He was 3-16 his last two years as a starter. He averaged 180 yards a game. That’s horrific. So please stop making him out to be a good passer. I’m tired of seeing it. I’m tired of having to talk about this bum ass QB.

I never said kap was good lol. He isnt as bad as people are making him out to be neither but saying rg is better than him is crazy lol. Ive seen him play, idc about about no bum ass stats that are narrowed down to make a player look great or bad. Just keep that shit real and say the real reason why you hate the man. You really bringing up preseason games? Lmao. Like i said, you lying to yourself if you think rg better than kap. Both not good but kap is most def a better qb

Don't worry, look who wrote the article.

The only NFC team who could trade for Flacco would be the Redskins. Every other NFC team is basically set at QB.

You also have to remember that Foles is going to be the number 1 option for teams with a lot of cap space to make a move on a starter. Foles will be way more expensive than Flacco but will not cost a draft pick.

Redskins looks more and more likely and attractive if they can find a way to settle on Alex smith or figure his cap out. Out of conference, a good team who has no q.b option but a late round pick, Flacco wouldn’t have to move, and the other top q.b In the market is it in the division making it 100% impossible for the eagles to let him go there

The Eagles have no say in the matter unless they resign him

I can’t remember where but I heard Eagles wi try to tag and trade him.
They have a lot of free agents and little cap space. Is it really worth it to get another pick but you lose an important player?
Although they can set up a deal in advance to trade Foles the 1st or 2nd day of the new season.
Flacco cap hit is very friendly these days for his new team. They could potentially cut him at any point and have no dead cap at all. This helps a lot especially if you're looking for a bridge qb

I’m february the team has a 20m option, but I’ve also heard files can give back 2m of his signing bonus to hit free agency. The latter is what I expect to happen.
